Mussar sefarim inspire us to teshuvah, but they, by themselves, are also not sufficient to free us from sins. Learning Gemara is essential!
Reb Shlomo Karliner zt”l said that “Gemera” comes from the word “Gomrei” coals, because the Gemara is like burning coals that burns away all impurities, and it ignites one’s heart to Hashem.
The last works of Rebbe Yitzchok Vorker’s life were “The greatest taharah (purity) is the heilege Gemara.” ~ R’ Elimelech Biderman Shlita
